The Puffer fish has Tetrodotoxin.
河豚魚有河豚毒素。
The good: An incredibly expensive delicacy in Japan, the puffer fish has been praised as the most delicious of all fish. No doubt the taste is heightened by a sense of fear.
益處:河豚在日本非常受歡迎,它被譽為最美味的魚。毋庸置疑,恐懼的感覺會讓美味翻倍。
The bad: The fear of the fugu comes from the fact that it is extremely poisonous. The puffer fish must be prepared a special way, by licensed chefs who undergo rigorous training, to be enjoyed. Tetrodotoxin can be found in the liver, ovaries, and skin, and accidental death is the common result of ineffectual removal. As a protective measure, the emperor of Japan is not allowed to eat fugu.
壞處:對河豚的恐懼來自它的毒性。河豚魚必須要用一種特殊的方法來烹飪。獲得許可的廚師需要經過嚴格的訓練。河豚的肝、卵巢和皮膚都含有河豚毒素,如果去除得不夠干凈會導致意外死亡。
